Roof Algae Can Certainly Raise Some Concerns
When roof algae (black stains on roof’s) are not taken care of they can stop the roof from reflecting heat from the sun. When this happens it can increase your home’s heating and cooling costs without the homeowner even realizing it.
Because the roof cannot reflect heat it starts to diminish and fail. Signs of wear are curled corners, wavy or bumped up shingles, crumbly or loose shingles, and excessive shingle granules falling into the gutters.
Most home owners become concerned with roof algae when the first unsightly black stains begin to appear. It is usually noticeable enough to raise concerns. Roof algae kills a home’s curb appeal and most homeowners can’t stand it.
